The 2024 NBA Finals have shifted to Dallas for Game 3, where the Celtics will look to move one win away from an NBA title.
Boston holds a 2-0 lead in the series. The Celtics won Game 1 in commanding fashion, defeating the Mavericks 107-89. Game 2 was a bit closer, with the Mavericks cutting the Celtics’ 14-point lead to five late in the fourth quarter. But Derrick White’s chase-down block of P.J. Washington sealed a 105-98 win.
While the Celtics are halfway to a title, they received bad news on the injury front. Kristaps Porzingis won’t be able to play on Wednesday due to a torn medial retinaculum in his left leg.
